Kobeissi Letter reports that 60% of global stock markets have reached all-time highs in the past 21 days, driving the peak of the global risk asset bull market.

Global Stock Markets Reach Record Highs Amid Bullish Sentiment

In recent weeks, stock markets in the United States, Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom, and Germany have reached remarkable highs. This has been propelled by the dominance of top 10 US tech companies, led by influential Big Tech leaders.

The S&P 500 has been a notable standout, achieving 37 all-time highs this year. As Kobeissi Letter, Market Analyst notes, “The top 10 US stocks now account for 41.4% of the S&P 500’s market cap, an all-time high, indicating a highly concentrated index profile.” These gains reflect an evident concentration in tech stocks, with companies such as Apple and Microsoft at the forefront.

Market reactions have been significant, with institutional flows into US equities growing. Federal Reserve decisions, particularly rate adjustments, have played a role in driving this bullish sentiment. Jerome Powell’s policies continue to influence market behavior.

Tech Growth Fuels Market Volatility and Bitcoin Valuation

Did you know? Since achieving peak levels, 60% of the global stock markets have reached all-time highs, a surge not seen in over two years.

According to CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin (BTC) is currently priced at $110,488.21, with a market dominance of 59.11%. Its market cap stands at approximately $2.20 trillion. Recent 24-hour trading volumes reached around $70 billion despite a slight price decline of 2.16% over this period.

Experts from Coincu suggest that continued concentration in tech stocks could increase market volatility but also provide opportunities for growth. Regulatory landscapes and crypto-specific governance remain pivotal factors influencing future market outcomes.
